China Entertainment has been a director since 08

Chapter 124 "The Martian" Starts Up (Monthly Pass Required)
The box office of Chinese movies keeps increasing.

In the past, it was not easy to exceed [-] million at the box office, but now it is easy to exceed [-] million, and it is not uncommon for the box office to exceed [-] million in the first week.

Apart from the fact that everyone has money and is willing to spend some money to enjoy watching movies, there is another important reason, that is, the environment of movie theaters has been greatly improved.

Digital screens have already occupied almost 90%, and there are more and more 3D screens and IMAX halls. The improvement of cinema services and environment also makes people willing to go to cinemas.

Couples can go to the cinema for a date, and families can go to the cinema to watch movies together.

Wanda Cinemas is undergoing large-scale renovation and construction.

The launch conference was successfully concluded. In the banquet hall next door, good food has been served to entertain everyone.

At around 4:[-] p.m., Li Hao and the crew got off the plane from Yinchao Airport.

The set here is ready.

The location of "The Martian" is located in Ningxia, and the studio is also located in the Western Film and Television City, which saves the time for transitions.

The western film and television base in the northwest suburb of Yinbi.

The desolate northwest desert has created its simple, primitive, rough, desolate and unique architectural style.

Movies such as "A Chinese Journey to the West", "New Dragon Inn", and "Red Sorghum" were filmed here.

The bus took everyone to the gate of the base.

I saw that the green screen studio that has been developed here is a full 25 meters high and an area of ​​thousands of square meters.

In the studio, a complete surface of Mars has been built, a full-scale human center can be placed, and a Mars rover can even be driven.

Green screen was only used to add the CG mountains in the background, and the panorama footage shot in the Tengger Desert during the preparatory stage.

The Tengger Desert was not taken directly, but a large area was transformed, completely in accordance with the reference data of Martian landforms given by the space agency.

When Li Hao and the others arrived, the crew who had come earlier were still busy, and the art director, photographer, and lighting engineer were constantly adjusting the lighting.

Four assistant directors led two teams to arrange around, people came in and out of the human center, and the Mars rover was also checking.

"How is it?" Li Hao asked.

"Director Li! Everything is ready!" Everyone said one after another.

"Director Li, you can start filming anytime!"

Li Hao nodded. It cost a lot of money here. Even with the strong support of the local government, the crew also spent a lot of money.

The layout of this studio was even assisted by a team of experts sent by the space agency.

And this team of experts will assist until the filming is completed.

This kind of treatment, looking at the whole country, only three or four directors may enjoy it.

Li Hao nodded.

Then he went to other human centers and other studios to have a look. The human center was built under the guidance of the space agency, with a ratio of 1:1.

It can be said that these are all scientifically based.

Even the Mars rover was specially built to stand scientific proof.

After all, in this regard, the space agency also has technical reserves. The next part of China's lunar exploration project is the Mars exploration project. If there is a lunar rover, there will naturally be a Mars rover.

This is the ability of Haotian Media and the influence of China Film Group at present. Otherwise, these constructions alone would not be able to be built even after one year of construction.

Li Hao didn't directly shoot. Firstly, the actors had just boarded the plane, and secondly, the crew members who arrived in the early stage didn't have a good meal.

When he came, he naturally wanted to treat everyone to a big meal first.

the next day.

Early in the morning, the crew finished their breakfast.

"Every department is ready!" Li Hao sat in front of the monitor with a loudspeaker in hand.

"The props group is ready!"

"The lighting team is ready!"

"The camera crew is ready!"

"."

All departments are ready.

And several actors finished their makeup early in the morning and put on their spacesuits!
"Scene three, one shot, one shot!"

"start!"

Everyone was ready, and naturally Li Hao also started to issue shooting orders.

Near the spacecraft, three actors including Hu Ge and Zhang Ziyi are sampling the soil of Mars.

The techniques, movements, and amount of sampling have all been contacted countless times in advance, and every step has been taught by experts from the space agency.

A wide range of angles of view captured all three of them.

"Most of the soil particles here are very rough, but those in District [-] are finer, which should be more suitable for chemical analysis." The camera slowly zooms in, and the actor played by Hu Ge is talking about putting a soil sample into a container.

In Li Hao's novel, the time background of "The Martian" is set in 2050.

Then Lei Jiayin's voice came out from the headset: "Look, what did you find here!"

Talking nonsense through the communicator while working, there is no sense of tension in the alien world.

"Cut!" Li Hao yelled to stop after one shot after another.

He rubbed his chin, looked at the two images on the monitor in front of him, and leaned back slightly.

Then the photographer was called over, and after some instructions, the shooting was resumed.

Filming is like this. Sometimes a shot is shot once, and sometimes a shot needs to be shot for several days.

This time, the moonlight in the lens can immediately show the entire Martian ground, a sense of quaint desolation.

After shooting both sides again, Li Hao let it pass with satisfaction.

This time, in order to shoot this TV series well, I spent a lot of money and bought a Red Epic Dragon 6K camera, which is currently the world's top camera equipment.

The camera is advanced, the shooting effect is good, and the same price is ridiculously expensive!

But the reality is like this. If domestic production cannot be produced, they can only be purchased from others, and they have the final say on how much money.

At night, the scene of the Martian storm was filmed.

"Start!" Following Li Hao's order, the whole studio went dark, only a beam of light came from the spaceship, and the lights on their helmets.

Immediately afterwards, ten high-power blowers started simultaneously.

The sky is full of yellow sand, and the soil is flying!
Hu Ge and the other three walked out of the human base slowly, and walked towards the spaceship with difficulty against the storm.

This storm scene will only last a few minutes, but it took more than four hours to complete the filming.

It wasn't until late at night that Li Hao announced that today's play was over.

When several actors took off their helmets and spacesuits, they were covered in sweat.

After removing make-up and cleaning, have supper together.

The chef of the crew has already prepared supper.

"How is it?" Li Hao sat at the table with Hu Ge and Zhang Ziyi.

"Tired! Difficult!" Hu Ge said with emotion: "Fortunately, he received special training for a month, otherwise he would definitely not be able to bear it!"

Zhang Ziyi nodded in agreement: "Sci-fi films are very difficult. If you didn't receive special training, you would never be able to act out the script by thinking and guessing!"

Li Hao thought so deeply.

If you want to make a good science fiction film in outer space, you cannot do without aviation technology.

For example, this time "The Martian" does not use the spacecraft form of China's aerospace industry, but uses electric propulsion. At the same time, a communication system has been established between Mars and the earth.

And it will appear at that time, the Chinese space station and the lunar scientific research station.
